Absolutely nothing to do with the Champions League win though. You're just all dead ace. I wonder how the outcome of that poll would differ if Middlesborough had won the UEFA cup, or indeed if Arsenal had won this seasons Champion's League Final? I think it's a case of "I'm not a glory hunter, but if I was....."

I should grudgingly add that they're definitely one of the teams I currently admire most in the Premiership, but they are also one of the most smug. A little humility in a fan is never a bad thing once in a while.

Proof, that even though you wonât openly admit it, you all love the mighty reds

As a Hammers fan, therefore one who appreciates honest, entertaining football and one who has always been proud to be associated with a club that encourages both player and fan loyalty I can relate to Liverpool FC. They are, IMHO, the secind greatest English football club in my lifetime.

Set their amazing achievements aside, a true fan of the game can only admire what LFC are about. The names Shankley and Paisley simply conjure up magic and it was players (where do I start?) under them that put English football on the modern map. The fans are great and support them throught thick and thin. Watching them on TV in during the 70s and 80s when they were Kings of Europe along with Nottingham Forrest, those Europen nights were special. The Kop in full voice, "You'll Never Walk Alone", the best footie terrace anthem by far, makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand on end even now.

And 3-0 down to win the Champions League. No one shouted and cheered louder than me as they came back, 0-3, 1-3, 2-3, 3-3....f'kin' 'eck!

So you can keep your Roman Abramaviche's (spelling) and his billions. They could win the Premiership 10 more times but they will not be revered like Liverpool, Man Utd or Arsenal....

Yep, Liverpool FC is my second fave' team based on their passion rather than their success....
